I know I’ve been absent a lot this Summer…

But I’m back and ready to have some fun!

To create this ‘Sweet Baby’ layout of my Nephew, Cooper,

I used a combination of Echo Park and Sassafras Papers.

I also used some of my favorite Shimmerz products:

Chick-a-dee Spritz (Yellow), Under the Sea Blingz (light blue), and Blue By U Paintz (darker blue).

I used the Blingz around the photo mat and the frame around the word “Sweet”

I love the shimmery loveliness.

Who said you can’t use butterflies and flowers on a little boy layout?

My inspiration came from this:

I’m trying to catch up on all the palettes from The Color Room.

There is SO much inspiration over there…you simply must give them a visit if you love to scrapbook.

In other news…

The kids started school today so my free time has doubled.

Hallelujah!

I was able to attended my niece, Kayla’s 4th Birthday party

while in California last week.

Kayla’s cake was lovely.

And she was pretty cute too!

Thanks for hanging in there with me

off to catch up with all of you!

Nothing like playing with Sassafras Paper!

Darling,

sweet

little Addie.

Gosh I love this little niece of mine.

I’m having so much fun with my new Shimmerz Colors.

I used Accu-Cut Dies to cut out an “Addie” stencil and then Spritzed away.

And I used my new Shimmerz paint on the edge of the page.

I also spritzed like crazy on these precious little Vintage Tags by

Pretty Little Studio.

Such cute little girl images.

I love the little Bunting Flags!

So, so fun to play with!

Enjoy these last weeks of Summer!

I’m having so much fun with the Sassafras Papers!  I created this layout using photos that my Mom took of my sweet little niece, Kayla.  I couldn’t resist…you will see why.

There was a little girl with a sweet little curl.

I used a lot of pop-dots in this layout to try to give it more dimension.

The Layout:

Kayla is so darn  sweet, one can’t help but take a photos of her.  I do.  All. the. time.  Although, I can’t take credit for the photos in my layout.

Here some that I took just last week:

See what I mean?  So CUTE!  Love that girl!

Thank you for stopping by my blog, have a fantastic day!
